ARRANGING AND COMBINING VALVES OF STEAM-ENGINES.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 5,705, dated August 10, 1848.

To all whom it may conce-rn.'

Be itknown thatA I, ALBI-nvr G. GILBERT, of the parish of Ascension, in the State of Louisiana, have invented a new and useful 5 Machine for Regulating and Working Steam-Engines.

The nature of my invention consists of two valves as shown at letter A working in opposite directions, which motion is formed 10` by the point f rest.v asshownv atletter- C,

being between the two stems, letter B. By moving the lever D it causes the valves to open in opposite directions, so that the steam passes without any pressure on the lever, the 'point of rest letter C taking the pressure.

What I claim as my invention, and request Let-ters of Pat-ent for, is The manner the valves are arranged to Work Without any pressure on the lever, so that it can be moved with ease. The valves can be applied notI only for regulating small engines, but also to large engines on boats.
